I created a ruleset called spam.score.rules and put it in the rules
directory reversing the yes and no for each address. Example:

FromOrTo:       test at tmisnet.com                no
FromOrTo:       default                         yes

In MailScanner.conf I changed the configuration as follows:

# Do you want to include the numerical scores in the detailed SpamAssassin
# report, or just list the names of the scores
Include Scores In SpamAssassin Report = %rules-dir%/spam.score.rules

Restarted MailScanner and sent a test message to the test at tmisnet.com
account. These are the appropriate lines from the headers:

X-Sender: gib at mail.tmisnet.com (Unverified)
X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 6.0.1.1
Date: Tue, 06 Apr 2004 11:19:26 +1000
To: test at tmisnet.com
From: "Gib Gilbertson Jr." <gib at tmisnet.com>
Subject: Testing
X-tmisnet-MailScanner-Information: Please contact TMISNET for more information
X-tmisnet-MailScanner: Not scanned: Please contact TMISNET if you want your
messages virus scanned.
X-tmisnet-MailScanner-SpamCheck: not spam (whitelisted),
         SpamAssassin (score=3.9, required 7, BODY_OBFU_CASH)

---

As you can see the SpamAssassin scores are there still.

If a user is whitelisted, why are we even scanning them?

Any thoughts?
